Join-in tours

Join-in tours allow you to share the travel experience with other like-minded adventurers. It’s a great way to meet a people and enjoy good company, as well as significantly reducing your travel costs.

Our join-in tours have a maximum number of 10 travellers, and many hiking trips are limited to 6-8 travellers. This allows the group to bond well and for the guide to attend to the needs of all travellers.

The following join-in tours are currently on offer:
